I am having trouble visualizing indices with dates in Kibana. It appears
I am entering data correctly since I see the data when I do a GET
request. However, I cannot visualize it after I create a data view.
Kibana sees all fields as empty. Here is my request/reply chain from the
Dev Tools Console.
```auto
PUT _index_template/rsmallidx
{
"index_patterns": [
"rsmallidx*"
],
"template": {
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {
"myEvent" : {
"properties" : {
"myfloat" : {
"type" : "float"
},
"mytext" : {
"type" : "text",
"fields" : {
"keyword" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"ignore_above" : 256
}
}
},
"sendTime" : {
"type" : "date",
"format" : "epoch_millis"
},
"uid" : {
"type" : "text",
"fields" : {
"keyword" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"ignore_above" : 256
}
}
}
}
}
}
},
"settings": {
"number_of_shards": 2,
"number_of_replicas": 1
},
"aliases": {
"some_rsmallidx": {}
}
}
}
```
**{
"acknowledged" : true
}**
```auto
PUT rsmallidx1/_doc/1
{
"myEvent": {
"myfloat": 9999999.0,
"mytext": "jasonh",
"sendTime": "1658945546000",
"uid": "57b68fafd2ce0f28"
}
}
```
**{
"\_index" : "rsmallidx1",
"\_id" : "1",
"\_version" : 1,
"result" : "created",
"\_shards" : {
"total" : 2,

"failed" : 0
},
"\_seq\_no" : 0,

}**
```auto

```
\*\*{

"\_shards" : {

},

"uid" : "57b68fafd2ce0f28"
}
}
}
]
}
}

Hello @jhop ! Are you sure your time filter is far back enough to pick up the data? Looks like your epoch timestamp is for `Jul 27, 2022 @ 20:12:26.000z`.
Kibana defaults to showing the last 15 minutes of data (see the time filter to the top right).

Thanks for the response @JLeysens . I changed the filter to go back 15 Months still nothing.

Sorry I did not hit the update button after I changed the filter. Yes it works. Thank you so much for your help.
